v*********u 发帖数: 10464 | 1 最近被客户的bimonthly搞晕了!居然这个英文单词即可以表示twice a month“每个月
两次”也可以表示every other month“两个月一次”. 太神奇了!中文里面有如此神
奇的文字吗?哈哈 | a********r 发帖数: 4013 | | e*****s 发帖数: 7359 | 3 It’s fair to say that “every two months” would be the more common usage
of the word, but there’s no guarantee that a reader will assume one meaning
or the other. If you want to use the term it may be worth spelling out (at
least once) what you mean by it. Or just use different words, such as “
every two months”. In the US, the word “semimonthly” is often used to
mean “twice a month” but this is not a common word in other parts of the
world, such as the UK. |
